Loading Applications

Use the LoadApplication command to locate and load applications for use in the program. Typically, the application sends a message that it has been loaded successfully. You can then use the commands and functions provided by the application.

Supported formats include:

  • Lisp files (*.lsp)
  • Menu Lisp files (*.mnl)
  • Dynamic Link Libraries provided by application vendors (*.dll)
  • Teigha eXtension files provided by application vendors (*.tx)

You can load Dynamic Link Libraries (*.dll) provided for the software.

To load applications:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • On the ribbon, click Manage > Applications > Load Application.
    • On the menu, click Tools > Load Application.
    • Type LoadApplication.
  2. In the dialog box, navigate to the application file to load and click Open.

    Make sure to load application files that were created for the software.

Use the AddIns command to display loaded applications.

Use the Add-Ins tab of the Options dialog box to integrate applications that are loaded each time you start the program (see Managing Add-Ins).
